The UK's Daily Express reported on September 25 that a new study has revealed more than three million men in the UK have confessed to wearing make-up。
The study made by Opinium Research, found that one in seven men -- self confessed " metrosexuals" -- use a variety of female cosmetics such as eyeliner, nail varnish and anti-ageing creams。
More than one in four of those who wear make-up claim they do so at least once a week -- the same number who say they would not feel comfortable going to a pub without any on, showed the study。
The study also found that more than a third of those wearing make-up borrow cosmetics from their wives or girlfriends -- with 40 percent of the women helping them to put it on。
The most popular products for men are hair dye, eye creams, anti-ageing products, eyeliner and fake tan. But they also admit to using concealer, face powder, nail varnish, lipstick and mascara。
Besides, they still take less time to get ready than women - an average of 21 minutes for a night out rather than 41 minutes for the average woman。
James Endersby, of Opinium Research, said: "Male celebrities are seen wearing 'manscara' and 'guyliner' and everybody thinks it's normal."、
